Hi.

Not long after updating to 10.3.5 I noticed my several of my Sherlock channels are missing. After researching I've found that deleting the sherlock .plist file and Sherlock folder within the user prefs is supposed to clear up the problem. It did not. In fact, the ramaining channels disappeared and now I have no channels!

I tried copying a plist and sherlock prefs folder from another comptuer but it did not work. Maybe I did not do it right.Any ideas??

I also read that this problem can sometimes surface if you "reset" Safari, which I have. It is probaby the culprit, but no doubt an OS/app bug and needs to be addressed.

Thanks a million for your help.

Sure, by Karelia; however, it will be supported by the new company taking it over...

Yeah, I guarantee you it won't go down the crap-hole...at least, no worse than Sherlock 3 already has!
